2 It makes the wounded spirit whole,
And calms the troubled breast ;

'Tis Manna to the hungry soul,
And to the weary Rest..

3 Dear Name! the Rock on which I build
My Shield and Hiding-place,

My never-failing Treasury, filled
With boundless stores of grace ;

4 Jesus, my Shepherd, Brother, Friend,
My Prophet, Priest, and King,

My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
Accept the praise I bring.

5 Weak is the effort of my heart,
And cold my warmest thought ;

But when I see Thee as Thou art,
I'll praise Thee as I ought.

6 Till then I would Thy love proclaim

With every fleeting breath ;
And may the music of Thy Name

Refresh my soul in death.

2 The Lord ye know is God indeed ;
Without our aid he did us make ;

We are His folk, He doth us feed ;
And for His sheep he doth us take.

3 O enter then His gates with praise,
Approach with joy His courts unto

Praise, laud, and bless His Name always,
For it is seemly so to do.

4 For why ? the Lord our God is good,

His mercy is for ever sure ;
His truth at all times firmly stood,

And shall from age to age endure.

Rev. William Kethe.

i From all that dwell below the skies,
Let the Creator's praise arise :
Let the Redeemer's Name be sung,
Through every land, by every tongue.

2 Eternal are Thy mercies, Lord !
Eternal truth attends Thy Word :
Thy praise shall sound from shore to shore,
Till suns shall rise and set no more.

DOXOLOGY

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow ;
Praise Him, all creatures here below ;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host :
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea ;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee,

Who wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.

3 Holy, Holy, Holy ! Though the darkness hide Thee,
Though the eye of sinful man Thy glory may not see,
Only Thou art holy ; there is none beside Thee
Perfect in power, in love, and purity.

All Thy works shall praise Thy Name, in earth and sky and sea;
Holy, Holy, Holy ! Merciful and Mighty !

2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ my God :

All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood.

3 See,from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down :

Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?

4 Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were a present far too small ;

Love so amazing, so Divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.

Rev. Washington Gladden.

2 What rush of alleluias
Fills all the earth and sky !

What ringing of a thousand harps
Bespeaks the triumph nigh !

O day, for which creation
And all its tribes were made ;

O joy, for all its former woes
A thousand fold repaid !

3 O then what raptured greetings
On Canaan's happy shore ;

What knitting severed friendships up,
Where partings are no more !

Then eyes with joy shall sparkle
That brimmed with tears of late ;

Orphans no longer fatherless,
Nor widows desolate.

4 Bring near Thy great salvation,

Thou Lamb for sinners slain ;
Fill up the roll of Thine elect,

Then take Thy power, and reign :
Appear, Desire of nations,

Thine exiles long for home ;
Show in the heaven Thy promised sign;

Thou Prince and Saviour, come.

Day by day His sweet voice soundeth, Saying, "Christian, follow Me; " Amen.

2 As, of old, apostles heard it
By the Galilean lake,

Turned from home and toil and kindred,
Leaving all for His dear sake.

3 Jesus calls us from the worship
Of the vain world's golden store,

From each idol that would keep us,
Saying, " Christian, love Me more."

4 In our joys and in our sorrows,
Days of toil and hours of ease,

Still he calls, in cares and pleasures,
"Christian, love Me more than these.

5 Jesus calls us : by Thy mercies,
Saviour, may we hear Thy call,

Give our hearts to Thy obedience,
Serve and love Thee best of all.

2 May we Thy bounties thus
As stewards true receive,

And gladly, as Thou blessest us,
To Thee our first-fruits give.

3 O hearts are bruised and dead,
And homes are bare and cold,

And lambs for whom the Shepherd
bled
Are straying from the fold.

4 To comfort and to bless,
To find a balm for woe,

To tend the lone and fatherless,
Is angels' work below.

5 The captive to release,
To God the lost to bring,

To teach the way of life and
peace, —
It is a Christ-like thing.

6 And we believe Thy word,
Though dim our faith may be,

Whate' er for Thine we do, O Lord,
We do it unto Thee.

Bishop William W. How.

2 When our foes are near us,
Then Thy word doth cheer us ;
Word of consolation,
Message of salvation.

3 When the storms are o'er us,
And dark clouds before us,
Then its light directeth,

And our way protecteth.

4 Word of mercy, giving
Succor to the living ;
Word of life, supplying
Comfort to the dying !

5 O that we, discerning
Its most holy learning,

Lord, may love and fear Thee,
Evermore be near Thee.

Made us of clay, and formed us men ;

And when like wandering sheep we strayed,
He brought us to His fold again.

3 We are His people, we His care,
Our souls, and all our mortal frame :

What lasting honors shall we rear,
Almighty Maker, to Thy Name?

4 We'll crowd Thy gates with thankful songs,
High as the heavens our voices raise ;

And earth, with her ten thousand tongues,
Shall fill Thy courts with sounding praise.

Vast as eternity Thy love ;

Firm as a rock Thy truth must stand,
When rolling years shall cease to move.

2 The martyr first, whose eagle eye
Could pierce beyond the grave,

Who saw his Master in the sky,

And called on Him to save :
Like Him, with pardon on his tongue

In midst of mortal pain,
He prayed for them that did the wrong :

Who follows in His train?

3 A glorious band, the chosen few
On whom the Spirit came,

Twelve valiant saints, their hope they
knew,
And mocked the cross and flame :

They met the tyrant's brandished steel,

The lion's gory mane ;
Thev bowed their necks the death to
' feel :
Who follows in their train?

4 A noble army, men and boys,

The matron and the maid,
Around the Saviour's throne rejoice,

In robes of light arrayed :
They climbed the steep ascent of heaven

Through peril, toil, and pain :
O God, to us may grace be given

To follow in their train.

2 We mark her goodly battlements,
And her foundations strong;

We hear within the solemn voice
Of her unending song.

3 For not like kingdoms of the world
Thy holy Church, O God ;

18

i Am I a soldier of the Cross,

A follower of the Lamb ?
And shall I fear to own His cause,

Or blush to speak His Name?

2 Must I be carried to the skies
On flowery beds of ease ?

While others fought to win the prize,
And sailed through bloody seas?

3 Are there no foes for me to face?
Must I not stem the flood ?

Is that vile world a friend to grace,
To help me on to God ?

Though earthquake shocks are threaten-
And tempests are abroad ; [ing her,

4 Unshaken as eternal hills,

Immovable she stands,
A mountain that shall fill the earth,

A house not made by hands.

Bishop A. Cleveland Coxe.

4 Sure I must fight, if I would reign ; 1
Increase my courage, Lord !

I'll bear the toil, endure the pain,
Supported by Thy Word.

5 Thy saints, in all this glorious war,
Shall conquer, though they die ;

They view the triumph from afar,
And seize it with their eye.

6 When that illustrious Day shall rise,
And all Thy armies shine : -

Tn robes of victory through the skies,
The glory shall be Thine.

A gracious, willing Guest,

While He can find one humble heart
Wherein to rest.

3 And His that gentle voice we hear,
Soft as the breath of even, [fear,

That checks each tho't, that calms each
And speaks of heaven.

Are His alone.

2 " Fear not, I am with thee, O be not dismayed;

I'll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand,
Upheld by My righteous, omnipotent hand.

3 "When through fiery trials thy pathway shall lie,
My grace, all-sufficient, shall be thy supply ;

The flame shall not hurt thee ; I only design
Thy dross to consume, and thy gold to refine.

4 " The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose,
I will not, I will not desert to his foes ;

That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake,
I'll never, no, never, no never forsake."

2 Come, fill our hearts with inward 3 Now to the God whose power can do

strength ; I More than our thoughts or wishes

Make our enlarged souls possess know,

And learn the height, and breadth, and Be everlasting honors done

length I By all the Church, through Christ His

Of Thine unmeasurable grace. I Son.

Rev. Isaac Watts.

2 See, the streams of living waters,
Springing from eternal Love,

Well supply thy sons and daughters,
And all fear of want remove :

Who can faint, when such a river
Ever flows their thirst to assuage ;

Grace, which, like the Lord the Giver,
Never fails from age to age?

3 Round each habitation hovering,
See the cloud and fire appear

For a glory and a covering,
Showing that the Lord is near,

Thus deriving from their banner
Light by night, and shade by day,

Safe they feed upon the manna
Which He gives them when they pray,

4 Saviour, if of Zion's city

I, through grace, a member am,
Let the world deride or pity,

I will glory in Thy Name :
Fading is the worldling's pleasure,

All his boasted pomp and show ;
Solid joys and lasting treasure

None but Zion's children know.

Rev. John Newton.

All, all Thine own, soul, heart, and strength, and mind

I see Thy cross — there teach my heart to cling :

Teach me the struggles of the soul to bear,

To check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh ;

The baptism of the heaven-descended Dove,

My heart an altar, and Thy love the flame.

2 I wish that His hands had been placed on my head,
That His arm had been thrown around me,

And that I might have seen His kind look when He said,
" Let the little ones come unto Me."

3 Yet still to His footstool in prayer I may go,
And ask for a share in His love ;

And if I thus earnestly seek Him below,
I shall see Him and hear Him above

4 In that beautiful place He has gone to prepare
For all who are washed and forgiven ;

And many dear children shall be with Him there,
For of such is the kingdom of heaven.

5 But thousands and thousands who wander and fall,
Never heard of that heavenly home ;

I wish they could know there is room for them all,
And that Jesus has bid them to come.

And not forgetful be

Of all His gracious benefits
He hath bestowed on thee.

3 All thy iniquities who doth
Most graciously forgive :

Who thy diseases all and pains
Doth heal, and thee relieve.

4 Who doth redeem thy life, that thou
To death mayst not go down,

Who thee with loving-kindness doth
And tender mercies crown.

5 Who with abundance of good things
Doth satisfy thy mouth ;

And even as the eagle's age,
He hath renewed thy youth.

6 For as the heaven in its height
The earth surmounteth far ;

So great to those that do Him fear
His tender mercies are :

7 As far as east is distant from
The west, so far hath He

From us removed, in tender love,
All our iniquity.

With flaming zeal your breasts inspire,
Bid raging winds their fury cease,
And hush the tempests into peace.

Then we shall meet to part no more ;
Meet with the blood-bought throng to fall ;
And crown our Jesus Lord of all.

Rev. Bourne H. Draper.

2 O ! let me feel Thee near me-
The world is ever near ;

I see the sights that dazzle,
The tempting sounds I hear.

My foes are ever near me,
Around me and within ;

But, Jesus, draw Thou nearer,
And shield my soul from sin.

3 O Jesus, Thou hast promised
To all who follow Thee,

That where Thou art in glory
There shall Thy servant be ;

And, Jesus, I have promised
To serve Thee to the end ;

O, give me grace to follow
My Master and my Friend !

4 O let me see Thy Foot-marks,

And in them plant mine own,
My hope to follow duly

Is in Thy strength alone.
O guide me, call me, draw me,

Uphold me to the end ;
And then in heaven receive me,

My Saviour and my Friend.

Have thy foes been proud and scornful,

Cease thy mourning !

Great deliverance

2 Friends and home and all forsaking,
Lord ! they go at Thy command ;

As their stay Thy promise taking,
While they traverse sea and land :

O be with them !
Lead them safely by the hand.

3 When they reach the land of strangers,
And the prospect dark appears,

Nothing seen but toils and dangers,
Nothing felt but doubts and fears ;

Be Thou with them !
Hear their sighs, and count their tears.

4 Where no fruit appears to cheer them,
And they seem to toil in vain,

Then in mercy, Lord, draw near them,

Then their sinking hopes sustain ;

Thus supported,
Let their zeal revive again !

5 In the midst of opposition

Let them trust, O Lord, in Thee :
When success attends their mission,
Let Thy servants humbler be :

Never leave them,
Till Thy Face in Heaven they see ;

6 There to reap, in joy forever,

Fruit that grows from seed here sown;
There to be with Him, Who never
Ceases to preserve His own,

And with triumph
Sing a Saviour's grace alone !

1 Je-sus shall reign wher - e'er the sun Does his sue- ces - sive jour- neys run :

His kingdom stretch from shore to shore Till raoons'shall wax and wane no more. A -men.

2 For Him shall endless prayer be made,
And praises throng to crown His head ;
His Name, like sweet perfume, shall rise
With every morning sacrifice ;

3 People and realms of every tongue
Dwell on His love with sweetest song ;
And infant voices shall proclaim
Their early blessings on His Name.

4 Blessings abound where'er He reigns ;
The prisoner leaps to lose his chains,
The weary find eternal rest,

And all the sons of want are blest.

5 Let every creature rise and bring
Peculiar honors to our King,
Angels descend with songs again,
And earth repeat the loud Amen.

Rev. Isaac Watts.

2 Forward, when in childhood
Buds the infant mind ;

All through youth and manhood,

Not a thought behind :
Speed through realms of nature,

Climb the steps of grace ;
Faint not, till in glory

Gleams our Father's Face.
Forward, all the life-time,

Climb from height to height :
Till the head be hoary,

Till the eve be light.

3 Forward, flock of Jesus,
Salt of all the earth,

Till each yearning purpose
Spring to glorious birth :

Sick, they ask for healing,
Blind, they grope for day ;

Pour upon the nations

Wisdom's loving ray.
Forward, out of error, «

Leave behind the night ;
Forward through the darkness,

Forward into light !
4 Glories upon glories

Hath our God prepared,
By the souls that love Him

One day to be shared ;
Eye hath not beheld them,

Ear hath never heard ;
Nor of these hath uttered

Thought or speech a word.
Forward, marching eastward

Where the heaven is bright,
Till the veil be lifted,

Till our faith be sight.

And thousand hearts ascending

And seek the Saviour's blessing,

Pursue thy onward way ;

i Stand up, stand up for Jesus,

Ye soldiers of the cross ;
Lift high His royal banner,

It must not suffer loss :
From victory unto victory

His army He shall lead,
Till every foe is vanquished,

And Christ is Lord indeed.

2 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,

The trumpet call obey ;
Forth to the mighty conflict

In this His glorious day :
Ye that are men now serve Him

Against unnumbered foes ;
Let courage rise with danger,

And strength to strength oppose.

54 WEBB or AURELIA 7 6 7 6 D.

i Hail to the Lord's Anointed,

Great David's greater Son !
Hail, in the time appointed,

His reign on earth begun !
He comes to break oppression,

To set the captive free,
To take away transgression,

And rule in equity.

2 He shall come down like showers
Upon the fruitful earth ;

And love, joy, hope, like flowers,
Spring in His path to birth ;

Before Him on the mountains
Shall peace, the herald, go.

And righteousness, in fountains,
From hill to valley flow.

3 Kings shall fall down before Him,
And gold and incense bring ;

All nations shall adore Him,
His praise all people sing ;

55 WEBB or AURELIA 7 6 7 6 D.

i " The whole wide world for Jesus,'"

All creatures great and small,
Come ye, bow down before Him,

God shall be all in all.

Filled with compassion, sing
The earth's awakening chorus,

Peal forth ■ " Make Jesus King."

2 " The Gospel of the Kingdom"

Go teach, baptize, to-day
Let all creation listen

Before it pass away.

3 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
Stand in His strength alone ;

The arm of flesh will fail you,
Ye dare not trust your own :

Put on the gospel armor.
Each piece put on with prayer ;

Where duty calls or danger,
Be never wanting there.

4 Stand up, stand up for Jesus,
The strife will not be long ;

This day the noise of battle,
The next the victor's song :

To him that overcometh
A crown of life shall be ;

He with the King of Glory
Shall reign eternally.

Rev. George Duffield

For He shall have dominion
O'er river, sea, and shore,

Far as the eagle's pinion
Or dove's light wing can soar.

4 For Him shall prayer unceasing
And daily vows ascend ;

His kingdom still increasing,

A kingdom without end :
The mountain dews shall nourish

A seed in weakness sown,
Whose fruit shall spread and flourish,

And shake like Lebanon.

5 O'er every foe victorious,
He on His throne shall rest,

From age to age more glorious,
All blessing and all-blest :

The tide of time shall never
His covenant remove,

His Name shall stand for ever, —
That Name to us is Love.

James Montgomery.

Those millions groping, longing
For peace, for pardon free,

Tell them the words of Jesus,
Ring out : " Come unto Me."

3 " This generation calleth,"

Shall Christians not obey
Commands of Jesus age-long?

His promise stands to-day :
All power to Me is given,

My banner rests unfurled,
Lo, I am with you alway

Evangelize the world.

Her charter of salvation
One Lord, one faith, one birth

One holy Name she blesses,
Partakes one holy food,

And to one hope she presses,
With every grace endued.

3 'Mid toil and tribulation,
And tumult of her war,

She waits the consummation
Of peace forevermore ;

Till with the vision glorious
Her longing eyes are blest,

And the great Church victorious

And still that light she lifteth

It is the golden casket,
Where gems of truth are stored ;

It is the heaven-drawn picture
Of Christ, the living Word.

3 It floateth like a banner
Before God's host unfurled;

It shineth like a beacon
Above the darkling world.

It is the chart and compass

That o'er life's surging sea,
'Mid mists and rocks and quicksands,

Still guides, O Christ, to Thee.
4 O make Thy Church, dear Saviour,

A lamp of purest gold,
To bear before the nations

Thy true light, as of old.
O teach Thy wandering pilgrims

By this their path to trace,
Till, clouds and darkness ended,

They see Thee face to face.

Unto mortals under heaven,
Which can make the dead arise,
And exalt them to the skies.

3 That which Christ so hardly

wrought,
That which He so dearly bought,
That salvation, mortals, say,
Will ye madly cast away ?

4 Rather gladly for that Name
Bear the cross, endure the

shame ;
Joyfully for Him to die,
Is not death, but victory.

5 Jesus, Who dost condescend
To be called the sinner's Friend,
Hear us as to Thee we pray,
Glorying in Thy Name to-day.

64 HE LEADETH ME

i He leadeth me : oh blessed thought !

Oh words with heavenly comfort fraught !

Whate'er I do, where'er I be,

Still 'tis God's hand that leadeth me.

Refrain : He leadeth me, He-leadeth me ;
By His own hand He leadeth me :
His faithful follower I would be,
For by His hand He leadeth me.

2 Sometimes, 'mid scenes of deepest gloom,

Sometimes where Eden's bowers bloom,
Used by per. of Rev. Joseph H. Gilmore.

65 I NEED THEE EVERY HOUR

i I need Thee every hour,

Most gracious Lord ;
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford.
Refrain : I need Thee, O I need Thee,
Every hour I need Thee ;
O bless me now my Saviour, —
I come to Thee.
2 I need Thee every hour ;

Stay Thou near by ;
Temptations lose their power
When Thou art nigh.— Ref.

66 WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE

i What a friend we have in Jesus,

All our sins and griefs to bear !
What a privilege to carry

Everything to God in prayer !
O what peace we often forfeit,

O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry

Everything to God in prayer.
2 Have we trials and temptations ?

Is there trouble anywhere ?
We should never be discouraged :

Take it to the Lord in prayer !

67 ROCK OF AGES

i Rock of Ages, cleft for me,
Let me hide myself in Thee ;
Let the water and the blood,
From Thy riven side which flowed,
Be of sin the double cure,
Cleanse me from its guilt and power.
2 Not the labors of my hands
Can fulfil Thy law's demands ;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could my tears for ever flow,
All for sin could not atone ;
Thou must save, and Thou alone.

Bv waters calm, o'er troubled sea, —
Still 'tis His hand that leadeth me.— Ref.

3 Lord, I would clasp Thy hand in mine,
Nor ever murmur nor repine;
Content, whatever lot I see,

Since 'tis my God that leadeth me.— Ref.

4 And when my task on earth is done,
When, by Thy'grace, the victory's won,
E en death's cold wave I will not flee,
Since God through Jordan leadeth me.-REF.

Rev. Joseph H. Gilmore.

3 I need Thee every hour,
In joy or pain ;

■qi' "
Or life is vain.— Ref.

4 I need Thee every hour ;
Teach me Thy will,

And Thv rich promises
In me fulfil.— Ref.

5 I need thee every hour,
Most Holy One;

O make me Thine indeed,
Thou blessed Son.— Ref.

Annie S. Hawks.

IN JESUS

Can we find a friend so faithful,

Who will all our sorrows share ?
Jesus knows our every weakness —

Take it to the Lord in prayer.
3 Are we weak and heavy laden,

Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Saviour, still our refuge, —

Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thv friends despise, forsake thee?

Take it to the Lord in prayer !
In His arms He'll take and shield thee,

Thou wilt find a solace there.

Joseph Scriven.

3 Nothing in my hand I bring,
Simplv to Thy cross I cling ;
Naked, come to Thee for dress ;
Helpless, look to Thee for grace ;
Foul, I to the Fountain fly;
Wash me. Saviour, or I die.

4 While I draw this fleeting breath,
When my eyelids close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown.
See Thee on Thy judgment throne,
Rock of Ages, cleft for me,

Let me hide mvself in Thee.

Rev. Augustus M. Toplady.

68 IN THE CROSS OF CHRIST I GLORY

i In the cross of Christ I glory,

Towering o'er the wrecks of time ;
All the light of sacred story

Gathers round its head sublime.
2 When the woes of life o'ertake me,

Hopes deceive, and fears annoy,
Never shall the cross forsake me :

Lo ! it glows with peace and joy.

3 When the sun of bliss is beaming
Light and love upon my way,

From the cross the radiance streaming
Adds more lustre to the day.

4 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure,
By the cross are sanctified ;

Peace is there that knows no measure,
Joys that through all time abide.

Sh- John Boivring.

69 JESUS, LOVER OF MY SOUL

i Jesus, lover of my soul,

Let me to Thy bosom fly,
While the nearer waters roll,

While the tempest still is high :
Hide me, O my Saviour, hide,

Till the storm of life is past ;
Safe into the haven guide,

Oh receive my soul at last.
3 Thou, O Christ, art all I want;

More than all in Thee I find :
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,

Heal the sick, and lead the blind.
Just and holy is Thy Name,

I am all unrighteousness ;
False and full of sin I am,

Thou art full of truth and grace.

70 MORE LOVE TO THEE,

i More love to Thee, O Christ,

More love to Thee !
Hear Thou the prayer I make

On bended knee ;'
This is my earnest plea,
More love, O Christ, to Thee,

More love to Thee !
2 Once earthly joy I craved,

Sought peace and rest ;
Now Thee alone I seek,

Give what is best :
This all my prayer shall be,
More love, O Christ, to Thee,

More love to Thee !

7J

NEARER, MY GOD, TO THEE

i Nearer, my God, to Thee,

Nearer to Thee
E'en though it be a cross

That raiseth me ;
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,

Nearer to Thee !

2 Though like the wanderer,
The sun gone down,

Darkness be over me,

My rest a stone ;
Yet in my dreams I'd be
Nearer, my God. to Thee,

Nearer to Thee !

3 There let the way appear,
Steps unto heaven :

All that Thou send'st to me,
In mercy given ;

72 MY JESUS, I LOVE THEE

i My Jesus I love Thee, I know Thou art

mine,
For Thee all the follies of sin I resign ;
My gracious Redeemer, my Saviour art Thou,
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.

2 I love Thee, because Thou hast' first loved

me,
And purchased my pardon on Calvary's tree ;
I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy

brow ;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
Used by per. of Baptist Publication fno'ety-

2 Other refuge have I none ;

Hangs my helpless soul on Thee;
Leave, ah ! leave me not alone,

Still support and comfort me.
All my trust on Thee is stayed ;

All my help from Thee I bring;
Cover my defenceless head

With the shadow of Thy wing.
4 Plenteous grace with Thee is found,—

Grace to cover all my sin ;
Let the healing streams abound,

Make and keep me pure within ;
Thou of life the Fountain art,

Freely let me take of Thee ;
Spring Thou up within my heart.

Rise to all eternity.

O CHRIST Rev' charIes Wesley-

3 Let sorrow do its work,
Send grief and pain ;

Sweet are Thy messengers,

Sweet their refrain,
When they can sing with me, —
More love, O Christ, to Thee,

More love to Thee !

4 Then shall my latest breath
Whisper Thy praise ;

This be the parting cry

My heart shall raise.
This still its prayer shall be,
More love, O Christ, to Thee,

More love to Thee !

Elizabeth P. Prentiss.

Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to Thee,
Nearer to Thee !

4 Then with my waking thoughts
Bright with Thy praise,

Out of my stony griefs

Bethel I'll raise ;
So by my woes to be
Nearer, my God, to Thee,

Nearer to Thee !

5 Or if on joyful wing
Cleaving the sky,

Sun, moon, and stars forgot,

Upwards I fly,
Still all my song shall be,
Nearer, my God, to Thee,

Nearer to Thee.

Sarah F. Adams.

3 I will love Thee in life, I will love Thee in

death,
And praise Thee as long as Thou lendest me

breath ;
And say when the death-dew lies cold on my

brow,
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.

4 In mansions of glory and endless delight,
I'll ever adore Thee in heaven so bright ;

I'll sing with the glittering crown' on my

brow,
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.

A. J. Gordon.
